OneDrive app

The OneDrive app for Flock allows you to search for files in your Microsoft OneDrive account, create new files, and share them with teammates quickly - all within Flock. It also generates automatic previews of files being shared in chats/channels.

You can also link multiple Microsoft accounts to search and share files.

To share files from OneDrive:

The app will search for a match in both file names and the content of each file.

Click on the share icon next to the file and select the chat/channel to share to.

Flock automatically creates a preview of the file and shares it in the chat/channel.

To set file permissions:

Once you share a file in a chat or channel, you'll need to give channel members access to view or edit the file. You can choose to do this for each file, or set a default option for all files you share.

Set file permissions for a shared file:

To give channel members access to view the file, click on Grant View Access.

To give them access to edit the file, click on the ellipsis icon and click on Grant Edit Access.

Set default file permissions for shared files:

Launch the OneDrive app.

Click on the gear icon for settings in the OneDrive app.

Under Permission Settings, select an option.

Flock will automatically give channel members view or edit access based on your choice.

Search for previously shared files:

The OneDrive app lets you quickly search for previously shared files as well.

Launch the OneDrive app and click on the Shared in Flock tab.

The app will automatically list recently shared files. Additional filters allow you to search for files sent by a specific team member and sent in a specific chat/channel.

To create files in OneDrive:

You can also create documents, spreadsheets, presentations, forms, and even folders in your OneDrive accounts - all within Flock.

Launch the OneDrive app and click on My OneDrive.

Click the + icon next to the search bar and select one of the options.

Add additional Microsoft accounts:

Launch the OneDrive app from Flock's apps sidebar.

Click on the gear icon for settings in the OneDrive app.

Click on Add New Account and authenticate with another Microsoft account.
